Profectum Foundation is a brand dedicated to advancing the development of all individuals with autism and other developmental and mental health challenges. They utilize the Developmental, Individual Differences, Relationship-based (DIR®) model, which is a comprehensive and foundational model that promotes development through affect-based interactions and tailored experiences. The DIR® model, developed by Drs.

Stanley Greenspan and Serena Wieder, revolutionized the concept of development by identifying functional emotional developmental capacities that provide the foundation for lifelong learning and relating. Profectum Foundation offers DIR® training, the first to relate these developmental capacities to individual differences in sensory processing, and it emphasizes the importance of relationships in nurturing and optimizing development. Their vision is to create a community of caring families, clients, professionals, and leaders in the DIR® field.

They are committed to promoting treatment approaches that address the unique needs of individuals at any stage of development, integrating the best treatment models across disciplines and intervention methods. Profectum Foundation's mission is to provide DIR® education and training for practitioners, educators, and families, connecting them to the critical resources needed to maximize the development of neurodiverse individuals with autism and other developmental and mental health challenges. Together, they aim to advance progress and create a brighter future for all
